Made in the town of the same name since the early 14th century, Chaource is the most famous artisanal cheese from the Champagne region of France. This decadent cheese is delicious at any stage of ripeness and has a slight mushroom scent with a rich, creamy flavor. It is not dissimilar to Brie or Camembert, but it has an even creamier texture, especially when aged. The cheese is made in miniature wheels that give it an elegant appearance for service with champagne.

This was bought as a gift along with four other types of cheeses. The recipient, who is a cheese connoisseur, raved about this cheese and was extreamly pleased with the product.

a bit disappointed

I give this cheese 3 stars because the taste is good and my clients seemed to like it, but the photo here depicts a very soft cheese that 'oozes out' in the creamy center. It does not oooze out....it remains very firm in the center and for that I was very disappointed. I believe this cheese may have needed more 'ripening' before it was sold to us, because it just never 'ripened' here...not even if it lay at room temperature.

CREAMY

I was pleasantly surprised. First time trying this cheese. I was a bit concerned when I opened it because of the ammonia Oder. But I aired it 24 hours and it is wonderful. After sitting at room temp for an hour it literally gets runny it is so creamy. Mild but tasty.

not the best chaource

The chaource was under-ripe. This is a fabulous cheese when fully ripened. Unfortunately, this one was not.

Great Cheese

The best Brie type cheese I ever had. Creamy with distinctive taste and flavor different than Brie. I ordered three of them two weeks ago and they are already gone (unfortunately). I have to order this cheese again. It is a favorite cheese for me, my family and friends
